Review: Asus Eee PC

,----[ Quote ]
| Less truly is more, at least when it comes to the Eee PC. While Asus 
| considers this mainly as a robust little laptop for kids, it's ideal as a 
| second computer that can be shared among the family or taken on holidays.

The Asus Eee Laptop Series Selling Off the Shelves World Wide

| The sturdy and light weight Asus Eee has captured the hearts and minds of US

| literally selling off the shelves world-wide.

| The popular Eee is not without its critics. IT Wire reports that Asus Eee may 
| have misrepresented the Linux loaded capabilities. According to IT Wire, some 
| Linux advocates say the Eee uses Xandros a Debian-based distribution that 
| charges a license fee and has an agreement with Microsoft similar to the one 
| signed by Novell.

TurboLinux Wizpy Review

,----[ Quote ]
| Though Linux in the mainstream has come a long way over the past few 
| years, there is still this stigma of being difficult to install and use. 
| The TurboLinux Wizpy is trying to sway consumer perception with the
| introduction of a pocket-sized multimedia player that contains a

TurboLinux Device May Jump-Start OS Migration

,----[ Quote ]
| When the Wizpy USB device boots up, it tricks the computer into seeing it 
| as a CD-ROM drive, which enables the Linux kernel to run instead of, say, 
| Windows or Mac OS. All OS settings and users' documents remain within 
| Wizpy, leaving no record or file imprint behind on the host computer's hard 
| drive.
